<blockquote>
	<h4>Location of Binaries:</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>SDK libraries: bin/linux.clang</li>
	</ul>

	<h4>Required packages to generate projects:</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>CMake, minimum version 3.12, note that the requirement can be eventually lowered to cmake 3.10 just in case of linux in the compiler/internal/CMakeLists.txt</li>
		<li>Python, minimum version 2.7</li>
		<li>Clang, min version 3.8</li>
		<li>Gcc for aarch64, min version 5.3</li>
	</ul>

	<h4>Generating Makefiles:</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>Makefiles are generated through a script in physx root directory: generate_projects.sh</li>
		<li>Script generate_projects.sh expects a preset name as a parameter, if a parameter is not provided it does list the available presets and you can select one.</li>
		<li>Supported presets for linux platform are: linux, linux-aarch64.</li>
		<li>Generated solutions are in folder compiler/linux-debug, compiler/linux-checked, compiler/linux-profile, compiler/linux-release.</li>
	</ul>

	<h4>Building SDK:</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>Makefiles are in compiler/linux-debug etc</li>
		<li>Clean solution: make clean</li>
		<li>Build solution: make</li>
   </ul>

	<h4>PhysX GPU Acceleration:</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>Requires CUDA 10.0 compatible display driver and CUDA ARCH 3.0 compatible GPU</li>
	</ul>

	<h4>Required Packages for Building and Running PhysX Snippets:</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>libxxf86vm-dev</li>
		<li>libglu1-mesa-dev</li>
		<li>libx11-dev</li>
		<li>freeglut3-dev</li>
		<li>gcc-multilib</li>
		<li>g++-multilib</li>
		<li>xterm</li>
		<li>libcg</li>
		<li>libcggl</li>
	</ul>

	<h4>How to select the PhysX GPU Device:</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>Set the environment variable PHYSX_GPU_DEVICE to the device ordinal on which GPU PhysX should run. Default is 0.
		<br><i>Example: </i>export PHYSX_GPU_DEVICE="1"</li>
	</ul>
